• Italian • Tinley Park

Booked 28 times today

The Santoro Family has been in the food service industry since 1988. We renovated AND re-branded almost one year ago in May of 2023. We created a NEW CONCEPT we call MODERN CASUAL CHIC...The new name is Frankie's Since 1988 as an ode to our original restaurant on the Southside of Chicago. No longer a fine dining white tablecloth restaurant. Our new vibe is energetic music, vibrant craft cocktails homemade pastas, authentic Southern Italian style pizzas (from our new Marra Forni oven) and most popular dishes, such as Ciambotta (sausage & peppers), meatballs, Alaskan wild king salmon, Chicken "limone" with a lemon butter & capers sauce amongst others. Our updated menu is a combination of old classics from the past 15 years in Tinley Park and new items with the same wonderful service guests have come to know and love from Frankie's.

In the beginning I disliked how slow the service was. But it all changed .i came back the second time because the first time the food WAS great. Now it’s our fifth time here. It grew on me. The food is always on point. My favorite is the ribeye with mushrooms and side of mash potatoes with gravy. But I’ve tried most of the menu already and I must say nothings has disappointed me so far. The fish of the day is a favorite of my husbands. Will continue to dine here. Shout out to Don.
